Help Me Obi-Wan

Yesterday we took a breather from wedding madness and went down to the Franklin Institute with 3 other couples to see the Star Wars Exhibit. They had a ton of props, models and costumes from the movies and described how all the scientific aspects can be used in real life, as well as how they came up with some of the design elements and concepts. Since I grew up a Star Wars fan, I thought it was all pretty cool, though a bit on the short side. Definitely glad we went on a Sunday and took advantage of the cheaper admission.

Here are a few pics from the day...

Han Solo and Chewbacca costumes. I had such a crush on Han Solo as a little girl!



Princess Leah with R2...




Luke's fake hand from Empire Strikes Back...



John and I near a model of the Millenium Falcon...



Me with the young Anakin Skywalker. Note that we are similar in height...




John and his buddy Jeff with Darth Vader...

I loved "Star Wars" as a kid, too! I so wanted Princess Leia's hair.

Looks like you guys had a great weekend!
